Bennett Foddy's 2008 ragdoll sprinting game reduces a 100-metre dash to four keys mapped directly onto muscle groups, and the resulting near-impossibility is the entire point — a joke about video game control schemes that outlived the punchline to become a genuine design influence.
7.5 / 10
A vampire farming sim with the best time-pressure idea the cosy genre has had in years, and almost no progression ladder to spend that pressure on.
7 / 10
A life-sim RPG about inheriting an empire that is already failing, built on the most detailed consequence machinery the genre has attempted — and undone slightly by how visible that machinery is.
7 / 10
Flipline Studios' 2007 time-management game put a mouse-driven, drag-and-drop pizza station where a decade of Diner Dash clones had put a single click, and the hands-on idea it proved out became the foundation for one of the longest-running Flash franchises ever built — even though the game itself never gives you anywhere to spend what you earn.
6.5 / 10
